Large Component Machining

Large Component Machining Without Compromising Precision

When people think of Northamptonshire engineering, they often think of Formula One, motorsport and the production of small, highly complex precision components. While Turnell & Odell proudly supports these industries, many customers are surprised to discover that we also have the capability to machine and assemble significantly larger components.

Large components demand exceptional capability, not only in terms of machine capacity but also engineering expertise. At Turnell & Odell, we’ve invested in high-capacity CNC machining technology that enables us to manufacture larger, more complex components while maintaining the precision, consistency and quality our customers expect.

Unlike many machine shops that specialise solely in small precision work, we combine both disciplines, large and small. Our facilities are designed to handle a wide range of projects, from one-off prototypes and replacement parts through to repeat production of critical engineering components. Whether machining large billet material, castings, or forgings every part is produced using proven machining processes, rigorous quality control and comprehensive inspection procedures.

Large CNC Milling Capacity

Our CNC milling facilities can accommodate components up to:

• 1600mm x 800mm x 800mm
• High precision machining for large castings, fabrications and billet components
• One-off prototypes through to repeat production
• Full inspection and quality assurance

Whether you’re manufacturing specialist machinery, defence equipment, food processing machinery or industrial plant, our experienced engineers deliver the same levels of precision and repeatability regardless of component size.

Large CNC Turning Capability

Our CNC turning capacity enables us to machine components up to:

• 650mm diameter
• 3000mm between centres

This allows us to manufacture long shafts, rollers, hydraulic components, machine spindles and other large turned parts while maintaining the tight tolerances our customers expect.

Complete Assembly Services

Manufacturing the individual components is often only part of the project.

Turnell & Odell can also undertake the mechanical assembly of large fabrications and engineered systems. Our factory is equipped with dedicated overhead crane coverage spanning the entire production area, allowing us to safely handle and assemble products weighing up to 5 tonnes.

By combining machining, fabrication, and assembly under one roof, we reduce logistics, improve quality control and provide customers with a complete engineering solution ready for installation.

Precision Engineering on a Larger Scale

Large components demand more than simply bigger machines. They require experienced engineers who understand workholding, distortion control, machining strategies and inspection techniques to achieve consistent accuracy throughout the manufacturing process.

Our skilled team applies the same attention to detail whether producing a small precision component or a five-tonne assembly, ensuring every project meets the highest standards of quality and reliability.
